move forward ("application manager"), right?

i think jason was indicating, as might normally be done in the future,
that someone else representing GNU would gather that information and
post it to gnu-linux-libre@nongnu.org on behalf of the new distro to
begin the community evaluation phase - 

only in this case he was interjecting immediately, vouching that in
this case, the distro is already know to be a valid candidate and needs
no further scrutiny at this level

The GNU Webmasters just do a very basic check to make sure that a distro is a 
feasible candidate. The folks on the mailing list take it from there. So our 
role is done. If you've already contacted the mailing list that's fine.

Hyperbola seems a feasible candidate. Please request an endorsement from the 
dedicated mailing list . They should include a 
description of their new distro, a link to their home page, and any other 
useful info.

They will take over from there.
